one thing that I have been wondering. How can a 350Z keep up with a supposedly "fully modded" evo 8? doesn't seem likely to me, but that is just what I think.
RANT WARNING:
Another thing, as far as I know drifting is nothing new in japan. I believe(correct me if I am wrong) it started on the touge (mountain roads) a while back, and it has until the 90's (again correct me if I am wrong) been an underground thing with pretty much no venues where they could drift. Most of the pioneers in the sport of drifting, as far as I know, honed their skills in these mountain drift time attacks and such. Lastly, to my knowledge, most underground drift races are done around midnight or later on public roads, always trying to stay one step ahead of the cops, not in parking garages.

Haha....before you guys get all gung-ho about fixing your 240 or getting a RWD car to fix it up for drifting, I had a one on one talk with a PD tonight on the way home. It was rather sudden and surprising but I got pulled over going home from seeing the damn movie. I won't get into details but I got off with a warning. Luckily I didn't get pulled over by a CHP. According to this officer, local PD along with CHP are cracking down on modified vehicles and has passed a new law. Anything and he meant ANYTHING, from modified intakes, to exhaust, to even a muffler tip that alters the sound of your car to non-stock sound, carb legal or not, they are IMPOUNDING the car and you are not getting it back! No more fix-it tickets. I'm like WTF!!!! Then he proceeded to say that he is trying to fix up his old BUICK. But now with this new law, he's having serious second thoughts. The officer turned out to be a car enthusiast and seems like a really cool guy. Anyhow, just thought I throw that in for your info.
I'm calming my *** down because I have to admit, since I got the exhaust work done on my car, I have been driving pretty aggressively lately. This sudden encounter with the law kinda woke me up and calmed my *** down.
BTW...........I don't understand why anyone would put a motor from a Silvia into a Mustang fast-back.
OH and another thing............most of the airheads in the movie had no real ***** and ***. Only one chick had the package and the face, the one that could drift.

That I can see the point. Bigger engine in a smaller car.

Yep........ the aqua and white Maximas I saw in the movie are all US Maximas. Even the styling is not all that but it did sport JDM bumper lenses. None of them are SE's either, no tails.

they all look like the infiniti early model i30s in tokyo
the maxima yall are talking about is the 95-96 US maxima

I just found out that the Mustang has a 2001 Nissan Skyline RB26 engine in it with a 1998 Nissan Skyline 5 speed, and Magnaflow exhaust. All the cars are running on Toyo Proxies T1R.
Why didn't they just give the kid an R34 Skyline! I am pretty disappointed not seeing one do a drift scene.

if you saw the movie you'd know that after he trashed the EVO VIII, all the cars he had access to were impounded after Han (the guy who taught him) got killed. Except the S10 silvia which he trashed in the first race (cops weren't gonna impound a trashed car) the engine and cluch were still in it so all they needed was a car with no engine, luckily his dad has been restoring a Mustang parked in his garage with a missing engine which he found at the Naval Base.
At the end he's back driving the S10 Silvia when Vin Diesel shows up the Pontiac GTO from xXx (WTF?!) and challenges him to a race.
PROPS to NISSAN
And yeah drifting is nothing new, it's been around for a good +20 years now, and yeah they did start it up in the mountains not in parking lots. Tokyo Drift was a rip off of Initial D basically.

I know that....but they could have worked anything in the scripts. I work in the movie industry, although not directly in film, I know how dynamic this industry is. Noone ever stays with the previously written scripts. They could have worked in the script that there was a hidden garage with a wicked R34. The scene where it cuts into the girl finding the thrashed Silvia, they could have made that a Skyline. Like Han's secret weapon.

...but skyline r34 was already used in the 2nd part, a real waste. I suppose they didn't want to use the R34 again since it would be a "weapon of choice" EVERYONE and their mother would go for the R34, I guess they wanted to be different an use an American car to beat a Japanese car in drifting even if they used a Japanese engine to do it. And yes I am aware that the Evo was also used in the 2nd part.

But they used the R34 in this movie, where Han was drifting around it in a circle. I think that scene is a waste of film. That scene served no purpose and the girls in the car weren't even that hot.

If you look at all 3 movies, I think the director/producers want to have atleast one muscle car in it, to generate a bigger audience..Vin Diesel's Nova in the 1st one, the 2 muscle cars in the 2nd, and then the Mustang in this one..
On another note, wouldnt the 67 Mustang, even with the RB in it, be waaaaayyyyy too heavy to keep up on those turns with a 350z, or any RWD/AWD import for that matter.
I mean, I think our cars with decent suspension upgrades can keep up with most "american muscle" cars on swervy roads....Most of those things way like a million pounds and are made of solid steel.
anyone hear me, or am I just thinkin too out of the box lol...

and no maxima with just suspension upgrades would keep up wit american muscle on swervy roads. most f-bodys/stangs on stock suspension would give a max more then a run for its money. this being if both drivers can handle their cars.

This movie is F*ckin racist. A white guy with a little bit of training in drifting in an old muscle car (persumably has bad handling) takes out a Japanese drift king in a 350z? And Vin Diesel beating all the asians? Are we that freaking useless we can't have a champion at our own thing? I serously should have bought tickets for another movie to see it.

ur right it was a dodge charger..my bad..

yo guys, we dont need to worry about having a RWD car, just pop that **** in REVERSE and beeee out screeeeeeching them BFG tires baby, alll smoke in the rear view!!!!!!!!!! yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah rock onnnn!!!!!!!
I gotta say, there was one funny part in the movie, when the main boy tells the other white boy that he could read the brochure for the Viper.
"Yeah, this car has 550 HP and it goes from 0 - 60 in like 3.5 seconds DUDE!!!"

either way i think it is great that people are atleast being able to see the maxima in modded form on the big screen(F&F 1) its a great car that doesnt get near the attention or respect it should... my personal opinion...
